We have to fight for our right to party.

The Right to Party."This time, for real, I’m calling for the establishment of a Party Party, or, at the very least, for a Party Party attitude. I’m issuing a call to arms for those of us always in need of, as the great Jeff Spicoli once said, tasty waves and a cool buzz." Hedonists and libertines, unite!

I'm thinking the Bush twins are going to be joining the Party Party. Who's up for President Bush III?

"Let it be written on this day in the year 2003 that it is our inaliable right to get a party going. And when we get a party going, and when it's time to party, verily we shall party hard."

Apparently there is already quite a Party of Parties.

In my younger days I thought it would be fun to be a Charter Member of the Let's Party.

How far does a government have to go before a large enough group of people band together and say, "No, what you say isn't important to us anymore. I don't recognize your laws, and I don't especially think anyone else needs to. You have no right in my bedroom, in my living room, in my lungs, up my nose, in my veins or in my pants. You can't hope to control what I grow in my backyard. You won't make me behave like you want, and you certainly can't make me believe what you do."

Civil liberties... blah blah blah... if I can't fuck, drink and drug like I want, I'm moving to Canada. Oh wait... I'm already there.

Anyway, violent revolution is what you need. It wouldn't be so bad compared to some of the things that have been perpetrated upon you over the last couple years. And then you could have a big ol' party.

I'm sorry, but it's pronounced "par-tay".

jon's real first name? buzz.

...and thus it came to pass that there finally was found a way that Mefis of all stripes, all political leanings, trolls and intellectuals, left and right, could come together as one legion, one Grande Armee, for but a single purpose and with but a single overriding cause:

That cause? To party. Sign me up, XQUZPHYR!

I, for one, welcome our new bong-toting band of par-taying overlords.

2000: Nader, Nader, Nader.
2004: Partay, Partay, Partay.

In last year's municipal elections Vancouver saw the Dance Party Party on the ballot. I don't dance so I thought it democratic to be able to vote in someone who would.

The Beastie Boys told us about this during the Reagan Administration.

First it is your mom throwing away your best porno mag...and the next thing you know Ashcroft's boys are breaking down your door.

That reminds of this total nutcase who was running for mayor of San Francisco in 1995. Party on, man!

I did my part last night.

And unclefes: There is nothing more important than a good party. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
